How many hours will Torchlight 2 (Vanilla) give you?

[wolv]

oh and What's your total played time?

Is this game better than Diablo 3?

[CrazyNando]

its depends on you! if you like diablo-like games you can go for it with much more than 100h!
Its depends also on your goals! A playthrough with each class? Reaching lvl100? Grinding for legendaries?
I can not say if its better than D3... I like them both and also play them both because they have different aspects in gameplay! D3 is for compete and TL2 just for fun! And the fun is excellent in TL2! :)

Obviously, DIII SoftCore is dead. Tons of bots, gold sellers etc. HardCore is a bit alive.
Well, DIII was good on the first day of release, really hard "Inferno" for HC players, a lot of fun.
TLII is a good game also, but I can not say - it is serious. Not a bad single game.
If you want a real challenge... PoE. (I'm not a PoE player, just a fact)

Torchlight 2 Vanilla gave about 60 some hours. Then I stopped playing. Didn't even get to lvl 100 or anything just got bored. When mods came out, that's what did it for me. Now I've got over 130 hours of playtime and I don't see me stopping any time soon. Just depends on what you're looking for. Vanilla for me just didn't have enough to keep me going, but the synergiesMOD + Combine Them All mod gave me what I was looking for.

Tl2 didn't give me any hours but it sure took a whack and I am pleased. The ROI (return on investment) is ridiculously generous. The D3 <=> Tl2 topic has been beaten to death more often than the proverbial (really a myth at this point) baby seal.

I got 60 out of it in coop

[FLXy]

I got about 50. Played through the game twice with the same char (embermage). He's about lvl 85 now. Now I'm just starting again on Veteran with a new class (engineer).

Got around 50 hours total on it. Two play throughs, And done it all with a friend. Hit level 89 on my outlander and before we started a 3rd play through we added a couple mods to add some things. Mainly a respec!

742 hours

Im probably one of the few who spent over 100 hours on it.

[Morag]

Just over 500hrs, mostly on vanilla. Three lvl100 chars, a couple at about 70 or so and a bunch of dead HC toons. I dabbled with Synergies mod, which is good but I went back to my vanilla chars. Not bored of it yet.

I realise this is an old thread, but;

I read on another forum that the main game (play through, with one char) is as short as 20-30 hours? Surely it can't be as short as that? Thinking of buying this. But want a decent play time , not a poxy 30 hours. Thanks

On a side note, what exactly does the multiplayer/LAN involve? And is it still active?

[Garrexus]

If you play on VET difficulty this game will give you a lot of hours. Also there is tons of mods wich make game more playble every time, im not big fun of mods, so my best way is VET-hardcore default game mode. I dont mind TL2 is waste of money, it is some new exp in ARPG, but if you a looking for good hightend/farm/realmoney/etc ARPG i would recommend "Path of exile".

I tried POE, and, have many hours in D3. I am looking for a game my son and I can play as a light-hearted bit of fun. We have played D3 to death, season, after season, after season... It's really 'rinse and repeat'. My son and I both like D3 type games, so as this is now an acceptable price I thought I would get it for us. I was just not sure if the online community was still active, and what to expect from co-op/online play. Thanks

You can find some players in online, but... i would say you could "cooperate" with em, its like a D2 system with open games when some guys can be ahead with lvls. For me - TL2 is more a single player/duo game.

TL2 is definitely light-hearted in terms of atmosphere, especially compared to Path of Exile, or Grim Dawn, which have fairly harrowing storylines.

Also, TL2 doesn't reset maps when you stop a session in the middle of one, and enemies don't respawn on those maps (they stay dead). In most other ARPGs, maps are either reset, or enemies respawn, or both, if you stop a session. This makes TL2 one of the best for shorter play sessions.

About the only major criticism you can make about TL2 in comparison to others is that its gear system and class/progression is a little shallower than the more hardcore options like PoE or GD. Depending on what you are looking for though, this could also be a major plus.
